How is this different from a standard Lodge skillet?

The walls are about 3 inches tall instead of roughly 2, and the pan holds 3.2 quarts. That makes it better for braising, frying chicken and baking, while a standard skillet is lighter and easier to toss food in.

Can it go in the oven and on induction?

Yes. It is oven safe to 500 °F and works on induction, gas, electric, grill and campfire. Cast iron handles all of them.

Less over time. It comes pre-seasoned, but the surface improves with use; expect some sticking with eggs or lean fish until the seasoning is well built up.

Hand wash with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly, then rub on a thin layer of oil. It is not dishwasher safe.

What comes in the box?

The skillet itself, with a looped cast iron handle on one side and a helper handle on the other. No lid is included.

Is it worth it over an enameled Dutch oven?

If you want one pan that sears on the stove and bakes in the oven, yes. An enameled Dutch oven is easier to clean and handles acidic foods better, but it costs more and cannot take campfire heat.

Our take on the Lodge Cast Iron Deep Skillet

The Lodge Deep Skillet is a 12-inch cast iron pan with tall 3-inch walls and a 3.2-quart capacity, so it works as both a skillet and a shallow Dutch oven. It is pre-seasoned, oven safe to 500 °F, and ready for gas, induction, grill, campfire or oven use. A looped main handle and an opposite helper handle make it easier to lift than a standard skillet when full. It suits anyone who wants one heavy pan for searing, frying, baking and braising, and it costs far less than enameled cast iron while giving up nothing in heat retention.
